Clinical Supervision.
🌱 Reflect. Grow. Sustain your practice.
Whether you’re a new graduate, a private practitioner, or a seasoned clinician navigating complex client work, high-quality supervision provides a safe and supportive space to reflect, learn, and evolve in your professional identity.
At Wellwise OT, I offer evidence-informed clinical supervision that nurtures your skills, supports your wellbeing, and helps you stay grounded and connected in your practice.
🤝 What You Can Expect
My supervision approach is:
Relational and collaborative: We co-create a space where you feel safe to bring challenges, questions, and moments of uncertainty.
Evidence-based and reflective: Grounded in supervision models like proctor’s three-function model (normative, formative, restorative) and informed by adult learning theory, trauma-informed practice, and the latest in mental health OT research.
Neurodivergent-affirming and inclusive: Space to explore practice through a neurodiversity, sensory, or identity-aware lens.
Whole-person centred: Supporting your professional development alongside your wellbeing and sustainability as a human in helping work.
Informed by lived experience: My approach is shaped by personal insight into neurodivergence, disability, mental health, and recovery-oriented care.
Grounded in teaching experience: I bring academic knowledge and practical insight from my Lecturer and Clinical Educator roles at Griffith University and Bond University, helping bridge theory and practice.

Clinical reasoning and reflective practice
Mental health OT frameworks (e.g. PEO, sensory integration, trauma-informed care)

📚 Why Supervision Matters
“Supervision is not a luxury—it’s a cornerstone of ethical, sustainable practice.”
Research consistently shows that effective clinical supervision:
Improves therapist confidence and clinical decision-making
Reduces burnout and compassion fatigue (Kilminster & Jolly, 2000; Snowdon et al., 2017)
Enhances outcomes for clients by supporting best-practice, reflective care
Promotes continuous professional growth and emotional safety
In allied health and occupational therapy, supervision is considered best practice across all career stages.
